If the whole world were green.
Oh, boy so many things I could title this! But I'm a greenie!!
And I worked with convicts who wore green, Sister Bartsch was sick so she too was a little green, and there's tons of trees here so the whole state is green!

This week has been a long one for sure. Ups and downs as was expected. But things are going well now! Mississippi is hot. But not the death zone I was expecting, so that was a pleasant surprise! Of course this week was our week to have the car, so next week's tale may be quite different.
President Olson and his wife are super sweet, and just very classy! Haha, which is weird of me to say, but they are. I had to say goodbye to sweet Sister Giles, as she's now in Louisiana, but Sister Bartsch is great! She's been sick this week though, so we've been inside a bit.
Wednesday was District meeting, and that's pretty much all I remember about that day.

Thursday we went and volunteered at the Mississippi Food Network (where we worked with the convicts). We just stacked and moved boxes for awhile, but it was good work! And afterwards, Sister Bartsch and I went to get ice cream! Because nothing is better than ice cream after Mississippi heat.
On Saturday, I met the Black's! And they are the sweetest people in the entire world!! We shared a message with them and then they took us out to lunch. And Brother Black loves cheesy jokes! So you better believe we've been exchanging some! Then we went to visit some people and Sister Bartsch and I went tracting. Which was hot. And maybe slightly scary. And then we went to visit a fairly recent convert, Summer. At which point, it was pouring rain. So we got rather wet...but it was really fun!
Church here was interesting yesterday. During second hour, the power went out, and so we finished our lesson and went to go to Relief Society and found that everyone was heading home. So third hour was cancelled, even though the power came back on about 40 minutes later. But Sister Bartsch and I went to a nursing home, and then to lunch with the Boone family. The Boone's are like the Clinton equivalent to the White's in Magna. Haha! They were great!
Sunday night we visited the Scott's after tracting and they had tiny puppies! Which were great until we thought they might have had fleas...and so we put those puppies promptly back.
Mom: I found you that Mississippi license plate you were looking for ;)
The peanut butter picture is mostly just to assure everyone that I'm still me.
Oh! I'm not the only Crosby here! There's some Crosby's in my ward! I've only met one, but I sure have heard a lot about them! Haha, hopefully I'll meet them all soon!
When I get home, I'll have to pray like a southerner for y'all. It's pretty great! Especially if you get a prayer talker. It's so funny to me, but I love it! And I'm kind of picking up the accent. Just saying.
But the people down here sure love Jesus, and that's a pretty good start! I'm starting to love it here! Even with all of the roaches...
